I sent my student a picture of his crush in a bikini, and now he’s in love with me

I am a high school English teacher. I could get fired and blackballed for this. Because of this I will never tell anyone I care about ever.<br><br>I have a student, that we’ll call Jack. He is absolutely not my type and I’m not attracted to him in the least. I’m aware he’s not a man, I will continue to refer to him as one. Jack spent most of the semester asking for individual tutoring after lunch. We mostly just talked. Never at any point was it sexually themed. I am very strict about student relationships and have actually opposed these kinds of relationships. I actually believe it’s morally wrong and abhorrent. <br><br>Two times we went out for coffee and he walked me to my car. I live alone so my student was never in my house. There is no mutual attraction. Never at any point in time was there an inappropriate conversation and at no point did I ever get romantically or sexually interested in him.<br><br>He said he had a crush on a girl in his grade. He asked if she was cute. I walked by her while she was in her swim team practice. I took a picture of her and sent it to him. At the end of the semester he asked me out. I was shocked. I very clearly said no. I said I was an authority figure and told him how these relationships go. He said he was willing to wait and THREATENED me saying that if i didn’t say yes, he would take his extended family and try to get me fired. I immediately went to my Vice Principal and told him everything. Because he threw the threat card, the Vice Principal told me “you better do it” and took his side. I’ve never been threatened to my job so I agreed. <br><br>I rarely ever see him. I don’t want to. I’ve never seen him outside of school and I never will. I didn’t have him in class the following semester. The other teachers don’t know because I don’t socialize with them. I’m not interested in him and I never will be romantically or sexually. I’m willing to take that to my grave. <br><br>It’s been months and I’ve barely seen this kid. I don’t plan to. I’ve never been and will not be sexually or romantically interested in him. I’ve never seen him outside of school and never will. I didn’t have him the next semester. I’ve never been in trouble and I don’t socialize with coworkers. This situation is threatening my career and I’ve never been more terrified in my life.<br><br>Edit: I’m not trying to defend my actions but like I said, I had no experience with this.<br><br>I was extremely scared and I should have went to my principal. I was terrified my career would end so I didn’t tell anyone until I posted this.
